Pro-Line RB5 BullDog body shell

Pro-Line have released their BullDog body for use with the Kyosho RB5 1:10 buggy. Providing performance that has, at times, been deemed an unfair advantage, BullDog bodies now set the standard in performance. The advanced cab forward design generates unmatched off-power steering, while the low profile rear deck feeds the wing with clean air flow. Made from durable / genuine Lexan, the super-low styling giving your RB5 the lowest center of gravity (CG) possible.

Smokem Hot Bodies TCX-FX chassis

The Hot Bodies TCX gets the Smokem treatment with the TCX-FX chassis. Firstly they have reduced the width of the chassis by almost 10mm and with an overall width of only 94mm, scrubbing during hard cornering is minimized. The 2.2mm thick chassis has been designed to provide additional flex to deliver more grip and a wider tuning window so you can dial-in your car in over a wide range of temperature and track conditions. Other improvements include 2 additional LiPo support holes, which allow you to install locating nuts to bring the LiPo battery 5mm closer to the centerline of the car. We have also added front and rear balancing holes so you can balance your TCX with balance pins. All this translates to a faster car over a wider range of conditions.
